    Edinburgh Zoo Frog Weekend
    The RZSS/Edinburgh Zoo organised a frog weekend in the zoo on 31 May and 1 June. Some of the activities included:

  • Pond dipping in the reed-bed pond
  • Leap frogging on the mansion lawn
  • Frog talks in the discovery centre
  • The frog and the fungus trail around the zoo
  • 'Picasso the Frog' puppet show
  • The 'Hop-to-it activity centre' in the education centre with lots of fun 'froggy' games

    Zoo staff also attended the local village fair where they sold frog gifts (e.g. cards, photos) and talked to children about the campaign.

    A very exciting event, which made the campaign €840, was Polly (the zoo's education officer) abseiling down the forth rail bridge in Edinburgh.
